Powertech Drilling Update Thursday May 17, 3:01 am ET biz.yahoo.com VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 17, 2007 -- POWERTECH URANIUM CORP. ("Powertech" or the "Company") (CDNX:PWE.V - News)(Frankfurt:P8A.F - News) is pleased to announce that, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Powertech (USA) Inc., it has initiated its permitted exploration program on the Dewey-Burdock Project in southeastern South Dakota, and has completed its first phase of exploratory drilling on the Dewey Terrace Project in Weston County, Wyoming. Powertech has commenced its drilling program on the Dewey-Burdock Project in Custer and Fall River Counties, in accordance with the recently issued South Dakota exploration permit. One of the primary objectives of this program will be to complete six core holes into mineralized portions of the Fall River and Lakota sandstones to obtain samples for metallurgical and leach testing. Test wells will also be installed to examine hydrologic characteristics and water quality of these sandstone units. 155 exploration holes are planned to confirm and expand previously identified historical resources throughout the project area. Powertech has previously reported a NI 43-101 inferred resource of 7.6 million pounds of uranium within the project area, averaging 0.21% U3O8 (see the Company's NI 43-101 technical report on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). In addition, Powertech has completed the second 10 hole phase of a 20 hole exploration program that was initiated last fall in the southern portion of the Dewey Terrace Project. This program was completed after interpreting the results of recently acquired historical Teton Exploration drill data and combining this information with the Company's data base that includes historical drilling completed by Federal American Partners and Silver King Mines in the 1970's and 80's. The objective of this drilling was to confirm the regional information contained in these historical data bases that indicated the presence of several mineralized uranium "fronts" or zones in this highly prospective property. This drilling was successful in confirming and delineating geochemical alteration in sands of the Lakota Formation at depths of 580 to 900 feet. Multiple mineralized solution fronts were found to be associated with this alteration, with mineralized intervals such as 3.0 feet of 0.053% U3O8 and 5.5 feet of 0.047% U3O8 occurring in the oxidized portions of these sands. An expanded second phase drilling program is planned for later in the year to assess additional uranium potential of identified mineralized trends in the 8,540 acre project area. "We are pleased to begin our Dewey-Burdock drilling program, having received our exploration permit. We look forward to the delineation of the known mineralized "fronts" across the sparsely drilled portions of our property. We expect that this drill program will result in the identification of additional resources. We also expect that the core tests to be performed will yield suitable chemistry for our planning of in-situ recovery patterns," says Mr. Richard F. Clement, President and CEO of Powertech. "We are also pleased that the exploratory program at Dewey Terrace has confirmed the continuity of mineralized "fronts" and we will incorporate this information into our planned drill program which will be designed to outline the full resource potential of the project."
